<p>Opponents of the Bolivarian revolution, US imperialism and the elite oligarchy in Venezuela are trying to carry out aggressive plans to destabilize the revolutionary process in Venezuela. The U.S. solidarity movement must send a message to Washington right away: we are organizing our voices of solidarity with President Chavez, the Venezuelan people and demand no intervention in Venezuela</p>
<p>During the week of solidarity with Venezuela starting Jan. 22 we urge the anti-war and progressive movement to carry out pickets, forums, press conferences or other actions in cities across the country to hold National Days of Action for Venezuela throughout this country.*<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></p>

<p>Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets on January 10 throughout Venezuela to show their support for legally elected President Hugo Chavez as well as for the Bolivarian Revolution.</p>

<p>Alliance for Global Justice is responding to the Call for Emergency National Days Actions for Venezuela, Jan. 20-26 by organizing this teach-in and dialogue on Friday, Jan. 25. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ health crisis, which prevented him from attending his own inauguration on Jan. 10, has brought forth a flood of lies and misinformation from right wing opponents to the incredible changes won by Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution under his presidency. The US media propagates the most incredible distortions of the situation in Venezuela, and right-wing Venezuelans in the US have called for demonstrations on Jan. 22 calling for US intervention.</p>
<p>So what are the facts and what are the lies concerning Venezuela? AfGJ Venezuela experts James Jordan and Chuck Kaufman will lead off a discussion on Jan. 25. Bring your own questions and opinions and let’s have a lively two hour discussion of the Venezuelan reality, what advances in Venezuela would benefit us in the US, and what we can do to support the Venezuelan people and oppose US.</p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;"> </span></p>

<p align="center"><strong>Solidarity Week for Venezuela: <br/>Tuesday January 22, 2013 thru Thursday, January 31, 2013</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Events confirmed in these cities:</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Tucson, Milwaukee, Detroit, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Atlanta<br/><br/></strong></p>
<p>The International Action Center, the Alberto Lovera Bolivarian Circle, Alliance for Global Justice, HondurasUSAResistencia<strong>, </strong>Cuba Solidarity New York, Latin America Solidarity Coalition, July 26<sup>th</sup> Coalition, Nicaragua Network; Stan Smith, Chicago Committee to Free the Cuban Five; US-El Salvador Sister Cities, May 1<sup>st</sup> Coalition, National Immigrant Solidarity Network, and many others call on the progressive, anti-war and solidarity movements to come out in solidarity with the revolutionary process in Venezuela and participate in<strong>National Days of Action from Tuesday, Jan. 22 thru Thursday, Jan. 31.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The solidarity movement in the United States right now faces a critical challenge with regards to Venezuela as well as the revolutionary process in Latin America. The tragic and saddening health crisis for President Hugo Chavez has many believing that the important process for progress in Venezuela, Latin America and the world, has been dealt a crippling blow but we know that the Venezuelan people and the region will never go backward. And our solidarity will continue as they move forward in their struggles for self-determination, sovereignty, integration and social justice.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">We wish a speedy recovery for President Chavez and send a deep message of gratitude to the Cuban Revolution for their superior care of the President.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">The Venezuelan people have demonstrated over and over their support and gratitude to President Chavez and clearly remain committed to the process of fundamental change in their country, no matter what. We are confident that the fundamental roots of the Bolivarian Revolution will remain strong and grow.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">But this health crisis will be used by US imperialism and the elite oligarchy in Venezuela to carry out aggressive plans to destabilize the revolutionary process in Venezuela. The U.S. solidarity movement must send a message to Washington right away: </span><strong style="font-size: 9pt;">we are organizing our voices of solidarity with President Chavez, the Venezuelan people and demand no intervention in Venezuela.</strong></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">During the week of solidarity with Venezuela starting Jan. 22 we urge the anti-war and progressive movement to carry out pickets, forums, press conferences or other actions in cities across the country to hold </span><strong style="font-size: 9pt;">National Days of Action for Venezuela</strong><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> throughout this country.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">If you are in a city, where no action is taking place, organize one! Or call, fax, email the White House and voice your opposition to intervention. Let us know your plans at the numbers and email addresses below.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">In New York City, we will gather at the Venezuelan Consulate to express our love and solidarity with President Chavez and then march to the U.S. Mission to tell President Barack Obama: Hands off Venezuela!</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: 9pt;">In a few days another email will be sent with details of the demonstrations planned around the country. Demonstration plans will also be posted on the websites below.</span></p>
